This study compares the effects of the nursing process and traditional care in a patient population where the environment, nurses, other multidisciplinary team members and the nursing model were the same for two patient groups. Both groups were nursed using traditional therapeutic community techniques. One group also received care using a nursing process approach. Patients in the nursing process group did not feel nurses were significantly more therapeutic nor were they more satisfied with their care.
